Arsenal sent scouts to watch Andre Silva during Porto’s clash with Leicester City

Arsene Wenger ordered scouts to monitor Andre Silva during Porto’s Champions League clash with Leicester City last week, according to reports.
O Jogo claim that the Gunners have been tracking the 20-year-old for well over a year, having been initially impressed by his performances for Portugal in the Under-20 World Cup where he scored four goals in the group stages.
It’s reported that Wenger has asked to be constantly updated with Silva’s progress and is aware of the striker’s potential.
